It's been snowing for 2 days now. It started yesterday. She woke up and she was so excited, "Mom, Dad, it's snowing, it's snowing." She wanted to go outside so bad that she did everything we asked her to do and in no time at all, she was ready.
She made her snow princess then we went to the track field to do some sledding but since we don't have any sleds we used her boogey board instead.

not a baby anymore
Meg, can you please stop growing up?
Mommy, we have been through this...
But, I don't want you to grow up anymore, can't you just stay a baby forever and ever.
I want to grow up. I want to be a grown-up.
It's no fun being a grown-up.
Oh, yes, it is.
Not. You have to look after your husband and kids. You have to clean the house everyday and then you have to make dinner. You have to do laundry and all kinds of boring stuff. It's no fun.
But, those things are fun for me and when you're a grown-up, you get to decide when to go to the BXtra.

pajama day
Every so often, like once per quarter, is spirit day. Today is such and it's pajama day.
"Mommy, tomorrow is pajama day. I get to wear my PJs to school. Ms. C said we could have rootbeer, too. It's gonna be like a sleepover at school!"
I don't know what rootbeer has to do with it, maybe because rootbeer is a rarity here. Our soda fountain does not have rootbeer. If we want rootbeer, we go to the commissary and buy a pack and since I don't like having soda in the house, we rarely drink rootbeer. Wait, back to the topic.
"So, tomorrow, I don't have to get changed. Isn't that cool?" This morning, she was pretty psyched up about going to school. "Is it morning yet?" Once we got to school, she went to her friends, hugged each other, then compared PJs.

And so it begins.
"Mommy, can I sleep-over at Olivia's house?"
"Did Olivia invite you?''
"She said, she'll talk her mom into it." I just have to laugh. Not ask her mom, but talk her mom into it. My little baby's making plans without me.
"When are you guys thinking of doing it?"
"Saturday."
"As long as it's fine with Olivia's mom, you can go. Tell Olivia, you can do it on Saturday. Friday night, Jonjon & Lisa are coming over and you have a belt test on Saturday afternoon. OK?"
"OK"

golden rocky
She did it! She got 10 golden rockies and saw Mr. Y, the principal. She came home wearing a golden dog tag and it said "Golden Rocky Winner". She's so proud of it. She's been wearing it since she got it, even in her karate class. She also got a certificate for "golden" behavior and citizenship on at least ten occasions this school year. And a Chili's gift certificate.
First sleep-over last weekend. She slept at a friend's house this weekend. I was so worried that I'd get a midnight call. "Mommy, I want you." but she didn't. She had her sleeping bag, a favorite toy, a pillow & blanket. She said they slept in the living room and she was a little bit scared because of noises in the middle of the night like the tick tock of the clock.

thanksgiving
It was so cute!
The day before, it was really foggy the school decided a 2-hour delay but I didn't think of calling the school so we got to school early and it was almost empty, there were a couple of cars here and there, we walked back towards the car and saw her teacher. Ms. C said to go ahead and leave M with her since she needs help setting up the class for the luncheon.
Her classroom was decorated nice, the tables had fall-theme centerpiece, the kids even made placecards for their guests. We had our lunch and after that their presentation. As I've said before she's one of the narrators. The other one was Tara. They put on their headgears that they made. She had on a pilgrim woman hat.
And it went like this:
Narrator: Once upon a time, a long time ago, pilgrim men...
Pilgrim men: Bang, bang, bang.
Narrator: pilgrim women...
Pilgrim women: Mercy me.
Narrator: and pilgrim minister...
Pilgrim minister: Praise the Lord.
Narrator: came to America...
etc...
After the play, they sang "America, the Beautiful" (or something like that) and they did it with sign language, too. It was so cute. After the song, the kids comes up to the center of the room and say what they are thankful for.
"I am thankful for my mom and dad, because they love me and I love them."
Sipsip talaga tong anak ko!
I'll try and post photos later.
